Abstract

Alternating hemiplegic migraine results immediately in an incapacitated state and can lead to long-term deterioration in cognitive and neurological function. In this report, two children with alternating hemiplegic migraine are described. The pathogenesis, precipitating factors, diagnostic tests, treatments and prognosis for alternating hemiplegic migraine are discussed.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
